Drew Brees' Instagram Message To President Trump
Instagram ^ | June 5, 2020 | Drew Brees

Posted on 06/05/2020 7:44:53 PM PDT by EdnaMode

To @realdonaldtrump

Through my ongoing conversations with friends, teammates, and leaders in the black community, I realize this is not an issue about the American flag. It has never been. We can no longer use the flag to turn people away or distract them from the real issues that face our black communities.

We did this back in 2017, and regretfully I brought it back with my comments this week. We must stop talking about the flag and shift our attention to the real issues of systemic racial injustice, economic oppression, police brutality, and judicial & prison reform. We are at a critical juncture in our nation’s history! If not now, then when?

We as a white community need to listen and learn from the pain and suffering of our black communities. We must acknowledge the problems, identify the solutions, and then put this into action. The black community cannot do it alone. This will require all of us.

1. He should never have spoken with the media.

2. He should never have apologized.

3. He should retire, while he’s ahead. What does he have to look forward to? The blacks on New Orleans’ offensive line will let the opposing D-line get through to him.

I imagine that it’s been made deadly clear to him that he will have NO post pro-football-career options (media etc.) if he does not clean up his thought crimes and repent before the alter of Black Lives.

It has always been about the flag and the left's desire to destroy all that it represents. Go sit on the bench Brees. You have been used.

NEVER EVER APOLOGIZE.

As soon as you waffle they smell the blood in the water and want even more. There’s no end to the demands.

Refuse to apologize and then the hyenas will go away and go after the weaker animals.

Trump knows this. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER APOLOGIZE. F ‘em!

Drew also worried that the line will not block for him. Okland Raiders had a white QB that ticked off his offensive line. They stepped aside one game and let him get sacked over and over until he was injured.

"This is getting creepy. Did he post this from a re-education camp?"

That comment summarizes this whole scenario. Truth is not allowed in today's America.

Has he fallen to his knees in front of his ‘betters’ yet? This is sad. How pathetic.

Agree with #3 he should have snuck his family out of town, sold everything and moved to a safe state. Then quit. CAN they quit if they have signed a contract?

Instead, it appears that Brees allowed his own good nature to be turned against him by guilting him into compliance.

Trump has shown us the right way: don’t bother being a nice guy. It just encourages them to do worse things, next time.

I hope he likes his new butt plug because he’ll be needing it a lot from now on as the left pounds him like a racing piston on drag race night.

Agreed. Probably his team and agent.

What’s with the imperial “We?”

Mr. Brees is badly mistaken if he thinks he speaks for the white community. Unlike other communities of color, NOBODY dares to presume to speak for the entire white community.

The young man has now managed to tick off a good bit of the community that would have backed him when things got rough. And I’m not talking about whites; I’m talking of citizen patriots who know there are much better and more honorable ways to unify the country that disrespecting its flang, vandalizing its national monuments and rioting and looting.

Maybe Drew is not such a great quaterback after all.
